Three days and three nights
by
I'm interested in the article on your web site concerning the phrase "three days and three nights" from Matthew 12:40. I have been trying to convince someone that it was not meant to be taken literally as meaning 72 hours. I know some Messianics think a Wednesday crucifixion helps support keeping the 7th day Sabbath, but I find that the women's unquestioning obedience to wait till the Sabbath was over before visiting the tomb to be a better example of Sabbath keeping. My question is concerning the part in the article that says:
At the beginning of Preparation Day (evening) the disciples prepared a Passover feast. This was a regular occurrence for Rabbis & their disciples to meet in the upper rooms of the walls surrounding the Temple Complex. The common people did not eat the Passover Feast on the first night, but Rabbis did so without the Lamb. They went through the ritual with their disciples. It was a teaching method and also was considered a righteous thing to do. Thursday evening, Y'shua met with his disciples and taught them, as they went through the ritual of the Passover Seder without the Lamb. (He was the Lamb of G-d!)
Could you please tell me where you learned this? I have never heard of this before and don't know of anyone else who has. Is it written down anywhere I could make reference to? It would be very helpful to me. Thank you.

TOY SOLDIERS
Contributed By Jim on 2002-05-31 20:21:13
My kid just came in with a present his friend had brought him from a recent trip to Israel.
He asked if I wanted to play "Middle East War " with him. "How do you play?", I asked. He replied, "Dad, you just set your men up and you roll a ball across the floor and the first one to kill all of the other guy's soldiers wins."
My mind went back to the days I used to play with my brothers. We would set up a battle field on the living room floor. Each would stand his small metal soldiers with tanks, trucks, and planes on opposite sides of the room. We would flip a coin to see who went first and then each in turn would get a "roll' to send a small rubber ball across the floor to destroy the other's army. The first to knock over all the enemy pieces won. I said "Sure, I'll play, son."
With great delight my son starting unpacking all the games pieces from the carton. I noticed on the box it said, "Reality Game Concepts."
We pulled out an Arab Muslim holy man. The instructions said he was a mufti. If we pushed on his belly he said, "Jews are monkeys and pigs" and "Allah, kill the infidels."
We dressed the leader of the Arab Muslim army with a checkered table cloth on his head. If we pushed on his belly he screamed, "We are marching to Jerusalem, We are marching to Jerusalem."
We continued unpacking and setting up the Arab Muslim Jihad warriors. They were programed to keel facing Mecca, and bury their faces in the floor in prayer to Allah five times a day. When they were in praying positions you could push on their backsides and hear their chants, "Allah kill the Jews, Allah Kill the Jews." We continued until all seventy-five of the Arab Muslim pieces were in place.
I looked in the bottom of the game box and I found only one piece for my side. One Jewish IDF soldier with a Blue and White Flag with the Star of David. I started to pull it out and my son said, "No, Dad. That's my man."
"What do you mean," I said, "Why do you want to play with only one soldier?" My kid replied, "Dad, didn't you read the box? It says 'Reality Game Concepts.' The Jew always wins!"
I am an Israeli. I try to live in peace with my Arab neighbors and Jewish neighbors and every other ethnic group here.
Part of the problem in the Middle East is lack of respect for one another. Another part is Arrogance. The Jewish people have won their wars because of God - no other reason. Our army is a mess and the lack of discipline is horrendous. It is only God, so let's give Him the Glory.
Love is the byword for us believers. Everything we do and say should be motivated by Love which comes straight from the Heart of God. Love one another.
For a Christian to believe that the Allah of the Koran is God, a Christian must believe that nearly 600 years after Jesus Christ, The Son of God, was crucified on the cross, rose again, and offered His Blood as the Perfect Sacrifice for the sins of man that God appeared to Mohammed, and told Mohammed that Jesus Christ was a liar, that Jesus Christ was NOT the Son of God, the Word Made Flesh, that Jesus Christ did not die on the cross and rise again, and that no Perfect Blood Sacrifice was offered for the sins of man. If Jesus Christ is a liar then, and only then, can Mohammed’s Allah of the Koran be God.
If Jesus Christ is the Son of God, the Word made flesh, and if Jesus Christ was crucified on the cross and did rise again, and if the Blood of Jesus Christ is the Perfect Sacrifice for sin, then the Allah of the Koran is a liar, and we must admit that the words of the Allah of the Koran are from a “spirit” other than the God of Creation.
Either Jesus Christ is God or the Allah of the Koran is God. One is The Great I AM. The other is the “father of lies.” There is no middle ground on this question.
Jesus Christ, The Son of God, and His Perfect Blood Sacrifice:
John 3:16
16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
NKJV
Heb 9:24-26
24 For Christ has not entered the holy places made with hands, which are copies of the true, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us;
25 not that He should offer Himself often, as the high priest enters the Most Holy Place every year with blood of another--
26 He then would have had to suffer often since the foundation of the world; but now, once at the end of the ages, He has appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself.
NKJV
Heb 10:18-19
18 Now where there is remission of these, there is no longer an offering for sin.
19 Therefore, brethren, having boldness to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus,
NKJV
Heb 13:20
20 Now may the God of peace who brought up our Lord Jesus from the dead, that great Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant,
NKJV
Matt 26:28
28 For this is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.
NKJV
Eph 1:7
7 In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace
NKJV
Col 1:14
14 in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins.
NKJV
Col 1:20
20 and by Him to reconcile all things to Himself, by Him, whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the blood of His cross.
NKJV
1 John 1:7
7 But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.
NKJV
Mohammed’s Allah in the Koran, nearly 600 years AFTER the Blood of Jesus Christ was offered as the Perfect Sacrifice for the sins of man:
Surah 10:69-71
10: 69. They say, `ALLAH has taken unto HIM a son,' Holy is HE ! HE is Self-Sufficient. To HIM belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth. You have no authority for this. What ! do you say concerning ALLAH what you know not ?
10: 70. Say, `Those who invent a lie against ALLAH shall not prosper.'
10: 71. They will have some enjoyment in this world. Then to US is their return. Then WE shall make them taste a severe torment, because they continued to disbelieve (Rejected Mohammed, Islam, Koran).
Surah 18:2-6
18: 2. All praise belongs to ALLAH WHO has sent down the Book (Koran) to HIS (Mohammed) servant, and has not placed therein any crookedness.
18: 3. HE has made it a guardian, that it may give warning of a severe chastisement from HIM, and that it may give the believers (Muslims), who do good works, the glad tidings that they shall have a goodly reward,
18: 4. Wherein they will abide forever;
18: 5. And that it may warn those who say, `ALLAH has taken unto Himself a son.'
18: 6. No knowledge have they thereof, nor had their fathers. Monstrous is the word that comes out of their mouths. They speak naught but a lie.
Surah 23:92
23: 92. ALLAH has not taken unto Himself any son, nor is there any other god along with HIM; in that case each god would have taken away what he had created, and some of them would, surely, have sought domination over others. Glorified be ALLAH far above that which they allege;
Surah 5:73-74
5: 73. Indeed, they are disbelievers who say, `ALLAH, HE is the Messiah, son of Mary,' whereas the Messiah himself said, `O Children of Israel, worship ALLAH Who is my Lord and your Lord.' Surely, whoso associates partners with ALLAH, him has ALLAH forbidden Heaven, and the Fire will be his resort. And the wrongdoers shall have no helpers.
5: 74. They surely disbelieve who say, `ALLAH is the third of three;' there is no god but the One God. And if they do not desist from what they say, a grievous punishment shall surely befall those of them that disbelieve.
Surah: 4:157-160
4:157. And for their disbelief and for their uttering against Mary a grievous calumny;
4:158. And for their saying, `We did slay the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, the Messenger of ALLAH;' whereas they slew him not, nor did they bring about his death upon the cross, but he was made to appear to them like one crucified; and those who differ therein are certainly in a state of doubt about it; they have no certain knowledge thereof, but only pursue a conjecture; and they did not arrive at a certainty concerning it.
4:159. On the contrary, ALLAH exalted him to Himself. And ALLAH is Mighty, Wise.
4:160. And there is none among the People of the Book (Jews and Christians) but will continue to believe in it before his death; and on the Day of Resurrection, he (Jesus of the Koran who was NOT crucified) shall be a witness against them.
(Islamic theology suggests that the Jesus of the Koran, who was NOT crucified; who did NOT offer his blood for the redemption of man, who was NOT the Son of God, will return at the Day of Judgment to annihilate the Jews who worship the God of the Bible, and who refuse to convert to Islam, and will destroy ALL of the Christians who refuse to deny that Jesus Christ of the New Testament is God, and who refuse to deny that the Blood of Jesus Christ cleanses from ALL sin.)
Those who believe the Word of the Bible is the Eternal Revelation of God recognize a sinister deception afflicting the world; a deception that declares that the Allah of the Koran is the God of the Bible; a deception that declares that Islam and the Bible are not irreconcilable; a deception that declares that Islam is just one of the many “paths” to the God of Bible. Some who claim the Name of Christ have not been immune to this deception.
There are those who, in an effort to build “bridges of brotherhood,” have diluted or discarded the Redeeming Power of the Blood of Christ. Some have suggested that presenting the Gospel of Christ’s Blood Atonement is a “hard line” position that is insensitive to Muslims’ theology, and will only repulse Muslims. Some have said that to enjoy a dialogue with Muslims that Christians must make Muslims believe that Christians accept the Koran as “another” vehicle of God’s Word. Some have said that Muslims can only be reached with a New Testament message when Christians of “greater tolerance” are able to convince Muslims that the God of the Bible is the same as the Allah of the Koran; the Allah who has no son; the Allah who has no Plan of Redemption; the Allah who rejects the Blood Sacrifice of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
To those, in the Christian community, who suggest that the Allah who rejects the sacrifice is equal to the One who made the Sacrifice, I should ask, “Who is converting whom?”
Mohammed said that Muslims were closest in friendship to those who say, “We are Christians.” Why? Because, as we see in Surah 5:83-84, Mohammed found those who say, “We are Christians” to be the people most easily converted to Islam.
5: 83. Thou shalt certainly find the Jews and those who associate partners with ALLAH (pagans) to be the most vehement of men in enmity against the believers (Muslims). And thou shalt assuredly find those who say, `We are Christians,' to be the nearest of them in friendship to the believers (Muslims). That is because among them are savants and monks and because they are not arrogant.
5: 84. And when they (Those who call themselves Christians) hear what has been revealed to this Messenger (Mohammed), thou seest their eyes overflow with tears, because of the truth (Koran) which they have recognized. They say, `Our Lord, (Allah) we believe, so write us down among the witnesses (Muslims);
Mohammed, as can be easily verified by reading the Koran, had a rather limited knowledge of the Bible. It does appear from the above, however, Mohammed possessed a rather acute understanding of those who professed to believe the Bible but did not have the Bible “written” in their hearts.
As the day is approaching when the only Immortal Wise God will appear to reveal the content of all men’s hearts, may vast multitudes be graced with the faith to prepare their garments to greet the Eternal King, The Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End, the One Who is and Who was and Who is to come.
“choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD. Joshua 24:15
Rev 1:4-5
Grace to you and peace from Him who is and who was and who is to come, and from the seven Spirits who are before His throne,
5 and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler over the kings of the earth. To Him who loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood,
NKJV
Rev 16:15
15 Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.
KJV
The Arabic word "Allah" is not a proper name. It is the generic word for God. I can be used for good or for bad. It corresponds to the Hebrew word "elohim" which can be used for the God who created the universe, or it can be used for the idols made by men. In English, we capitalize "God" when we talk of the Creator. We spell it with a small g when we talks of "other gods". The Bible uses it that way.
Our Bible (Old and New TEstaments) translated into Arabic uses the word "Allah" when it talks of God/Allah created the heavens and the earth.
If you do not understand the word, it can be difficult to talk with a Muslim and be understood. When Christians say "Allah is not God", it makes no sense to a Muslim. God is not God????
I agree the religion of Islam and the Koran is of a different spirit than the Holy Spirit of God. The average Muslim knows nothing of the Koran and illiteracy is rampant in the Muslim world. Many Muslims are willing to talk about Y'shua/Jesus and they feel favorable toward Him. They are suffering from a lack of understanding about God and His Messiah. WE need to meet that need with love and understanding by giving them the GOOD NEWS. We do not need to trash their religion. We need to use their understanding that a blood sacrifice is necessary for the cleansing of sins. WE need to point to Mohamed's own words about himself - he was totally unsure of where he fit and what God required of him. WE need to HELP THEM in the power of the Spirit to eat of the Tree of Life. ARguing facts true or false from the Tree of Knowledge will only deepen the rift. The Lord our Savior died to set them free! They are open to the gospel. Let's take advantage of that while the door is open - it will not be open long.
Are Russian Messianic Jews who live in Israel ever beaten up by the Ultra Orthodox Jews in Israel? I just find this hard to believe. Thank you and praise G-d.
I have two friends named Sasha and Anatoly who were beaten up by the orthodox Jews. They knocked almost all of Sasha's teeth out. He just returned from Germany where some very kind Christians paid for him to have a new set of teeth made. They also paid for his plane ticket. So yes, Russian Messianic Jews are tormented for being believers. That is just two examples - but there are many.
Come and visit and see for yourself.
We wish you all happy holidays, whether it is Hanuka or Christmas. Y'shua (Jesus) is the Reason for the season! His actual birth is celebrated on Sukkot (Feast of Tabernacles - God dwelling with us) but the important thing is that you remember He is the Light of the world! Enjoy!

WHO OR WHAT IS A JEW?
By Eli James
(Edited)
This message is being written to all members of the Anglo-Saxon and Kindred Israel nations to clarify the meaning of the word, Jew!
This is probably the most abused word in history because the rabbis of the religion of Judaism have used it to create confusion among the Gentiles for two thousand years. I will cite two recent articles: one from a respected Christian Identity journal and one from a revisionist journal. Those of us who have devoted our lives to the service of Jesus Christ and to the exposure of the lies and deceptions of the International Zionist Banking Mafia must understand precisely who and what the anti-Christ is so that we do not judge wrongly, either history or the present world turmoil, especially since our current President, George W. Bush (Bush 43) is maneuvering our country into an all-out war against so-called terrorism.
We must be sure that we are on God’s side and not deceived into taking the side of our adversaries, the anti-Christ’s, the “Tares” found in the fields of the Christian world.
In the February 2002 issue of “Thy Kingdom Come,” a Christian Identity publication affiliated with the British Israel movement, there is contained an article entitled “Can We Learn From the First Advent?” by Brooks Alden. On the whole, this was a very good article, especially in clarifying the 70-weeks prophecy of Daniel having been fulfilled by Jesus Christ. I have always doubted the theory that only 69 weeks were fulfilled and that the last week would occur during the end times. Brooks Alden is to be commended for excellent research and analysis and eradicating the false “Gap Theory.”
I do have a major problem with the way Brooks uses the term Jew , however. It shows a distinct lack of understanding of who the Jews are and what their origin’s were. For example, Brooks states ...the Jews (a small percentage of the Judahites, Benjamites, & Levites) were to spend 62 weeks [of years] or 434 years awaiting the Messiah.
There is no way that the term Jew can be used to identify real Judahites or other Israelites unless those same Israelites practice the religion of Judaism. The true, biblical and proper designation for this group is the House of Judah.
Judaism did not emerge as a distinct religion until about 150 years before the time of Christ. Uncircumcised scribes from the nearby Edomite nation of Idumea had been employed by Judahite kings to keep records for some time before this; and it is almost a certainty that among these Idumeans lived a remnant of the nation of the Amelekites, who were the fiercest enemies of the tribes of Israel throughout our biblical history. The Amelekites were known to the Egyptians as the Hyksos. It was these Hyksos who invaded Egypt and set up operations at the trade route crossroads in northern Egypt, thus cutting off true Egypt from its northern and eastern trading avenues. It was among these Amelekites that the order of scribes emerged, for their job was to keep trade records as well as to regulate weights and measures.
The Hyksos tried to conquer Egypt by dominating its trade (just as the Jews are doing to the United States today). But the Egyptians finally expelled them after a period of 70 years.
During the Hyksos period, these proto-Jews (Edomites who had not yet developed the religion called Judaism) took upon themselves Egyptian customs and dress in order to fool the various traders in the passing caravans into believing that they were the true representatives of the Egyptian rulers, while the native Egyptians who ruled to the south were prevented from moving north toward the mouth of the Nile River. From this perspective, it is clear that the so-called Hyksos Kings were not an Egyptian dynasty. Rather, they were an invading force that used commerce plus political and religious intrigue in order to overthrow a legitimate Egyptian dynasty.
After the ejection of these Amelekites from Egypt, they were forced to travel north into what is today southern Palestine; and there they merged back with their other Edomite brethren, the Idumeans. It was during the Hyksos Pretension that the order of Edomite scribes developed into a powerful political force. Just as today s accountants are so important to Big Business and International Commerce, the scribes of that time were crucial to the conduct of trade. And, just as the Enron scandal proved, accountants and record-keepers can be bribed or intimidated into keeping deceptive records.
After the ejection of the Hyksos from Egypt, it was, therefore, not at all uncommon for these scribes who needed work, after all, to hire out their services to neighboring nations; and their close proximity to the nation of Judah practically guaranteed that they would eventually find employment there. That is exactly what happened.
It was during the reign of the Judahite king Onias IV, around 150 B.C.,that the sect of Pharisees began to assert themselves over the Essenes and the Sadducees. Onias IV was succeeded by King Jonathan and King Simon. The next monarch, King John Hyrcanus (Hyrcanus II) solidified the Pharisees’ power by annexing the entire nation of Idumea and forcing them to submit to circumcision. This act was in total defiance of God’s Law, which demanded that all Israelites refrain from mixing their seed with that of non-Israelites. Judah, as an Israelite tribe, was also subject to that Commandment.
Thus, the Kingdom of Judah became the combined Kingdom of Judah and Idumea, and the mixing of their seed became commonplace, although this occurred primarily in the City of Jerusalem and rarely in the countryside where the farmers of Judah and Benjamin had little social interaction with the Idumeans. (Just as modern Jews today, the proto-Jews of Judea preferred to live in the cities). Previous to this infusion of non-Semitic stock into Judahite blood, there had been no wholesale commingling of Judahite blood and Edomite blood. John Hyrcanus changed that distinction.
The Idumean scribes gradually found themselves thrust into the company of the Pharisees, who were in charge of the religious life of the Kingdom of Judah. It was at this point that the scribes and Pharisees formed an alliance that would change the Kingdom of Judah forever. The Pharisees began accepting non-Judahite members from Idumea and so began the corruption of the priesthood in Judah. The scribes and Pharisees, together, dominated the religious and economic life of the Kingdom and eventually became powerful enough to impose their anti-Mosaic teachings upon the Judahites, which teaching included the race-mixing of the
Pharisees.
Pay attention here, O Israel: It is their tradition that Jesus Christ calls the tradition of the elders, which he condemns in all four Gospels as the synagogue of Satan. Although some elements of Judaism did come back from Babylon after the Babylonian captivity, it was primarily the scribes and Pharisees who made up their self-serving doctrine based on Edomite, exploitational economics and a Babylonian pagan religion. This body of doctrine was added to the Hebrew Torah (Mosaic Law) and it was thereby corrupted. Today, rabbi’s will refer to the “whole Torah” but this deceptive comment “includes” the Talmud. This religion is today known as Judaism.
When Herod was appointed King of Judea by Rome, he was the first non-Judahite king of Judea. He was an Idumean. His first act was to slaughter all of the members of the Sanhedrin, both Judahite and Idumean, so as to purge the Sanhedrin of Judahites and replace them only with Idumeans. Just as Josef Stalin purged his administration of disloyal Jews only to replace them with Jews he felt he could trust, Herod liquidated those Idumeans who might have too much in common with the Judahites. Taking no chances, he murdered them all.
It was during this era of the merging of Judahites and Idumeans that the confusion between these two groups of people began to develop; and the rabbis of Judaism, who are accurately called Jews, began pretending to be Judahites. Even today, one of the requirements of being a Jewish male is the rite of circumcision. Circumcision is not a requirement for Christian Israel because that was one of the rites (among many priestly rites) abolished by the New Covenant and the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. The purpose of circumcision was to enable Israelite women to assure themselves that they had married an Israelite man, since no other ethnic group had ever practiced such a rite. Since non-Israelites were now practicing the same rite, circumcision could no longer guarantee that she would be marrying a pure-blooded Israelite. Circumcision, practically speaking, became useless.
From all of the above history, it is therefore axiomatic that the term Jew should never be applied to any Israelites or Judahites prior to 150 B.C. and then only to those who specifically practiced the doctrine of the scribes and Pharisees. It is very important that our language be precise so as not to confuse Judahites who practiced the Mosaic Law with those Jews who practiced the leaven of the Pharisees.
The remnant who returned from Babylon however, were both Judahites, (not Jews) as well as Jews who had intermarried while in Babylon, those who were now imbued with the doctrines of the Talmud, and that new faith, “Judaism.” The prophet Jeremiah separated these “returnees” calling them the “Good and the Bad figs,” as the Fig tree was always symbolic of the nation of Judah. (The Olive Tree symbolic of Israel)
A Judahite is a full-blooded member of the tribe of Judah. Both Nehemiah and Ezra record that their ranks were purged of half-breeds and all of their half-breed wives and children were banished to Idumea. Only pure-blooded Judahites were left to rebuild the city walls and the temple. This may seem to be a minor point but we must realize that the rabbis hope to keep us in a state of confusion (Babylon means confusion) about the origins of Judaism; and anything that is good for them is bad for True Israel.
In addition, the proper term for the nation of the Judahites before the Pharisaic period is, simply, Judah, or the land or the house of Judah. Let us make this statement as of our spiritual lives depend upon it: The Judahites NEVER referred to themselves with the generic word, Jew.
The application of the term Jew to these pre-Pharisaic Judahites is always erroneous because these Judahites never practiced the religion called Judaism. After the Pharisaic period was in full swing, outsiders such as the Greeks and Romans began referring to the land of Judah as Judea. Just as America’s Indians never referred to themselves as Indians, neither did the Judahites refer to themselves as Jews. It is silly and preposterous for us to make this mistake knowing full well that the Jews are neither Judahites by race nor religion. Jew and Judahite are not equivalent; therefore, the word Jew should never be applied to anyone who is a pure-blooded Judahite, and particularly not ever to one who is an Israelite. The fact that historians use the word retroactively to apply to pre-Pharisaic Judahites is a horrible mistake of scholarship and a Pharisaic tradition that is promoted by the anti-Christ in the interests of Zionism.
We, as Yahweh’s True Israel people, should begin to correct this mistake in faulty language, as we know that the “Two Sticks” prophecy of Ezekiel affirms that these two nations will be rejoined:--some would say that they have already done so, as all Israelite Tribes/Nations are found in North America today. We can also affirm from God’s words to Ezekiel about the “Dry Bones Prophecy”, where God states to Ezekiel” “Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel;..”(Ezek.27:11)
There are only three possible definitions of the word Jew:
1. Jewry, 2. those who practice the religion called Judaism, and 3. a Judean.
Definition #1: Jewry refers to the ethnic minority that is controlled by the rabbis of Judaism, though they may not be religious. Today, this group consists of the Sephardic Jews of Edomite origin and the Ashkenazi Jews of Khazar origin. Note that neither of these groups is of Shemitic origin, which makes their use and abuse of the term “anti-Semitism” farcical as well. The rabbis, thinking that we are as stupid as we are good-natured, have been fooling us for 2,000 years. Within these two groups, the Sephardim and the Ashkenazim, the number of pure-blooded Judahites is zero. The fact that either of these groups might occasionally intermarry with true Judahites does not make them Israelites. They are still impostors.
Definition #2 is self-evident. It is important to state, however, that Judaism is NOT a continuation of the heritage of the Hebrew Bible. If someone plagiarizes your work, claims it as his own and signs his name to it, does that make it his? Judaism is no more of Hebrew heritage than Martin Luther King, the plagiarist, is of Britain and Shakespeare.
Definition #3 refers to those people, irrespective of their religion or ethnic origin, who lived in Judea after the nation became known not as Judah but as Judea. By this time, the Mosaic Law had been all but wiped out by the scribes and Pharisees and defiled by their own tradition. Again, this was more true of those in the City of Jerusalem than it was of the people of the countryside. Although Bethlehem was only a few miles away; it was not nearly as corrupted as the City itself. And it was even less true of the Benjaminites, whose country, the land of Galilee, was never converted to Judaism. It is biblical and historical fact that all of the Apostles, except Judas, were Benjaminites who never practiced Judaism. Judas was most probably either a traitorous Judahite or a mixed-breed Judahite/Idumean. His surname, Iscariot, is a reference to his home town of Kerioth, which was located at the southern border of Judah, the border of Idumea. Iscariot means, therefore, of Kerioth. He was Judas of Kerioth.
The name change from Judah to Judea was prompted by the fact that the nation was becoming less and less Judahite and more and more Idumean, just as America today is becoming less and less Christian and more and more Pharisaic. Jewmerica might be a fitting retroactive nomen, after they have again fabricated history by taking credit for the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution and declaring that ours was always a Universalist, pro-Zionist nation denying the divinity of Jesus Christ.
The rabbis have profited enormously from this confusion between Judahite and Jew for centuries. The Pharisees knew perfectly well that they were not true Judahites, but Idumeans who had adopted some Mosaic customs while promoting their own religion, Judaism. The four Gospels are replete with evidence that the scribes and Pharisees neither practiced the Mosaic Law nor were they Israelites of the tribe of Judah. Jesus says so repeatedly, for example, when He says “Ye are not of my sheep, and Ye are of your father, devil.” And He distinguished between the Mosaic Law and Judaism by calling the latter the traditions of men and the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
Judaism and Mosaism are as different as night and day. The rabbis know this also, but their historic masquerade as Israel, demands that they pretend! 1.) to be Judahites and 2.) that Judaism is a continuation of the Old Testament. Both ideas are absolutely false; just like the hoaxacaust of WWII. It is paramount for the goals of the anti-Christ Talmudic rabbis that this confusion be carried on into eternity: it is their intent!(Only as long as Yahweh allows it to exist)
As for us, we should know better than to allow ourselves to play Jewish games. For clarity s sake, and to avoid promoting Jewish myths about their origins, the word Jew should never be used to refer to Mosaic Law Judahites. And, even more certain, the term should never be used to refer to Israelites, because the House of Israel, along with a large percentage of the tribes of Judah and Benjamin, had been deported 550 years before, and they had no part in the events of Judea just before and during the time of Christ.
That is why Jesus told His disciples not to preach to the local unbelievers but said, instead, “Go ye rather to the Lost Sheep of the House of Israel” (Matt.10:6). This is exactly what the Apostles did; going to Asia Minor, Europe and Britain, where the Ten Lost Tribes had already heard of the Messiah. The Ten Lost Tribes should really be referred to as the Twelve Lost Tribes as they had such a large contingent of Judah and Benjamin that accompanied them at the time of their captivity by Assyria.(See II Kings 18:13) Note too, that even St. Paul, after his two years of study, fully planned to “go to the east” but was re-directed by the Holy Spirit to follow along on the back trail of the long-departed tribes of Israel, known by this time as, Gentiles.
Further on in the same article Brooks Alden refers to the prophet Daniel’s people as “Jews.” These were the Judahites that emerged from the Babylonian Captivity. This assignation is also incorrect for all the reasons cited in the paragraphs above. They were Judahites who never practiced the religion called Judaism. This is simply to say that if you don t know the difference between a Jew and a Judahite, then you can hardly discuss our history with any accuracy.
I hope this explanation is clear so that the Jews, who falsely claim to be Israelites and Judahites, will never have given to them, what they are trying to steal from us. We must know exactly who we are and exactly what and who is the real enemy. Certainly, no modern rabbi would ever be able to contradict the facts of this proof, since they are the literal blood and philosophical descendants of the scribes and Pharisees; they live in fear that the public will discover these truths and the resultant cry would result in banishment-Again!
In order to demonstrate how the modern rabbi perpetuates this charade, I have included a critique of an article contained in a recent issue of the Barnes Review, September/October 2002.
In all fairness, rather than condemn the Barnes Review for publishing the views of an anti-Christ rabbi, I will compliment them for their commitment to freedom of speech. Would that Judaism and Zionism promote the same freedom of speech when it comes to our right to publicly criticize those two institutions. For those of us who know the truth, Judaism and Zionism are the two most notorious misinformation outlets the world has ever known. Lies and deception are their business, as is proven by this article in the Barnes Review, in which a supposedly anti-Zionist rabbi addresses a group of revisionist historians.
First of all, for a rabbi to be anti-Zionist, is a non-sequitur because Judaism is a chauvinistic religion whose aims promote Jewry over the “goyim” of the world. If Rabbi Weiss disagrees with Zionism, it is not because the roots of Zionism cannot be found within the Talmud, Judaism’s holy book. Rabbi Weiss’s Judaism is just as chauvinistic as that of any Zionist. The only difference is that his particular expression of Judaism is not as rich or as powerful as that of Zionism.
He and his organization, Neturei Karta, believe in the old-school ghetto-style Judaism of the Middle Ages. So, in reality, his dispute with Zionism is parochial, not philosophical.
The proof of this statement is the fact that Judaism uses the Talmud to justify its claims to religious and cultural superiority, just as Zionism does. All of Rabbi Weiss’s talk of Torah morality pales in comparison to the chauvinism of the Talmud. There is no such thing as a rabbi who does not follow the Talmud; and the Talmud is the historically compiled opinions of all rabbis from the time of their captivity in Babylon until finally put into print around 500AD. If you do not have access to the Talmud, then read the four Gospels to get the gist of Jesus objections to their tradition. I must note here, that when a rabbi refers to the “Whole Torah,” he is also including the severely antiChristian, anti Jesus, Talmud. This is another deception of the first order!
The fact that Zionism holds sway over the minds of 95% of Jews (Rabbi Weiss’s figure) tells us something about Judaism itself. The good Rabbi explains that Zionism emerged because of the frustration of 1900 hundred years of Jewish exile; but surely this is an incomplete explanation. The fact is that Zionism is philosophically compatible with Talmudic (Orthodox) Judaism. It is the Jewish will to power coupled with Rothschild money that gave power-hungry Jews the nerve and resources to become violent and bold enough to challenge the Christian West. This violence would never have emerged were it not for 1900 years of rabbinical propaganda keeping the Jewish version of the Messianic dream alive while keeping the flocks penned up in the ghettoes. If there was frustration, whose fault is it? Why are so many Jews neurotic basket-cases if not for these years of their rabbinical inculcation?
In contrast to the Israelite dispersion, the Jewish Diaspora (dispersion) began in 70 A.D., with the destruction of the City of Jerusalem by Titus, the general in command of the Roman army. Jesus had told these Jews that the kingdom shall be taken from you and that the City would be utterly destroyed because of its iniquity. Since the rabbis of Judaism had refused to accept Him as the Messiah, they continued practicing their religion of deception; but Yahweh gave them a
taste of His wrath; a seeming foretaste of their destruction prophesied to occur on the Day of Judgment, for the words of Jesus foretell that “…I will make them to come and worship at thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.” (Rev.3:9)
Their historic last stand, near Jerusalem, was at Masada; and Judaism’s last vestige of nationalism was wiped from the face of that region. Following are some pertinent comments by the late Lauritz Larsen on this historical period between the return of Judah to Jerusalem and its eventual destruction.
“This final event, (AD.70) terminated the Chartered Jewish Nation that the 9th chapter of Daniel outlined, a nation destined to endure for seventy prophetic weeks, which on a scale of a day for a year, or the 490 years it was scheduled to endure.(Ezekiel 4:5-6) This nation was chosen of God to supply the background and surroundings for the coming of Messiah (Dan.9:24-27). When those purposes were accomplished, the Jews rejected Christ as they Saviour and cried, “Crucify Him, Crucify Him. His blood be on us and our children.” (Matt.27:22-25) They rejected Christ as King, also by declaring: “We have no King but Caesar” (John 19:15), thus violating their own law, according to which they should not acknowledge a king who was not of their own race.(Deut.17) The legitimate mission of the Jewish nation thus ended, and by their own actions they terminated their national charter even as Christ had previously told them: “The Kingdom of God shall be taken from you…”(Matt.21:43) Note too, in this connection the marginal rendering of one line in Daniel 9:26, “The Jews they shall be no more His people.” The dispersions and judgments pronounced upon the “residue” (Jews) in Jerusalem, as found in Jeremiah 24:9-10, have continued down through the centuries, and the end is not yet.”(Israel, Judah and the Jew)
It is often claimed that Judea was the last “Jewish” nation until the Zionist’s re-invaded Palestine in 1948, but an earlier “Jewish” nation, a Turkic-Mongol tribe called Khazars, converted to Talmudic Judaism and became a “Jewish” nation in central Russia, existing from 500AD to 1240 AD.(Some call them Gog and Magog) But, after WWII, a British government, corrupted by Rothschild money and a duped American President did create another Jewish nation. Jews used the “Balfour Declaration” (Created to induce America to enter WWI) that illegally gave Palestine to the anti-Christ Jews - permitting them to claim a genetic affinity in their version of a “return” to the Promised Land. This is nothing less than a biblically prophesied masquerade by these adversaries as the Chosen People, a charade that, according to John of Patmos, “deceiveth the whole world.” The book of Obadiah describes the ultimate destruction of the children of Edom; for the modern State of Israel is the re-gathering of Esau/Edom before their final destruction by Yahweh.
Today’s modern rabbis, by continuing this deception to the bitter end, are leading the Jewish people down a trail of tears, bloodshed and violence. Many Jews are confused as to why they are hated so much by all peoples of the world. It is their religion that is to blame; and Zionism is the most virulent expression of Judaism. The fact is that before Zionism, many rabbis were content to stay with the ghetto model of existence: a small Jewish community surrounded by goyim with the rabbis acting as the middlemen in all relations with the goyim. This provided the rabbis with a tremendous sense of importance, for they would always be negotiating with the outside while bragging to the ghetto residents what great work is being done on their behalf.
Zionism is simply the ambition of Judaism spilled over the ghetto walls. If not Zionism, then something else just as unrestrained and demanding of Jewish success would emerge. This is not morality. This is schizophrenia bred by conceit, the conceit that is bred into all Jews, whipped up by the Chosen People lie. All of this return to the Promised Land talk is empty rhetoric because the Holy Land does not belong to the Jews. It never did. They stole it from True Israel the first time and they are trying to steal it again-from Ishmael!
(Stealing it from one of Abraham’s true Progeny, Ishmael, for the Arab possession of that land confirms the everlasting nature of God’s promise to Abram, the award of that land to his seed “forever”! Isaac and Jacob did not receive this eternal promise of land rights—in fact, God informed Israel twice, in II Sam.7:10 and 1 Chron.17:9 that they would be re-located away from Palestine, proffered by God at a time when both Israel and Judah were living at peace during King David’s time.
It was the unfortunate role of Mother Russia to become heir to the Jewish problem when the Czars, like Hyrcanus III of Judah, incorporated the Jewish nation of the Khazars into their Christian nation. These Khazars, all Ashkenazics, descendants of Shem’s brother, Japheth, were converted to Judaism around 740 A.D. Joseph, King (or Kagan) of the Khazars, invited a number of Sephardic rabbis to his country and these rabbis organized the people according to the same principles that the Pharisees used during the time of Christ.
Later, when the Jews of Khazaria proved to be ungovernable, the Russian Czars established the “Line of Pale,” a ghetto district of huge proportions, behind which the Czars hoped the Jews would stay confined. This was not to be, for the Jews behind the Pale organized one political assassination after another and drove the Russian people crazy. (This was the basis for the expression, “Beyond the Pale.”)
In order to stop the Jewish violence, Czar Nicholas II gave the Jews full rights of citizenship, including access to education, government, the press, etc. To the Czar’s dismay, rather than placating the Jews, these measures emboldened them even more. The Russian leadership, found, to their amazement, that the assassinations and subterfuge got even worse, because it allowed the Jews to infiltrate the government, the military, the press and the educational establishment, supported by Jewish bankers from outside of Russia.
We do know that this had been done similarly in England following Cromwell’s granting them re-entry, and in America after the Civil war stripped away the predominant status of States Rights, and the rise of Federalism that culminated in their great success in 1913; the inauguration of their alien Federal Reserve system with its concomitant pillars of support, the 16th and 17th Amendments.
With help from European and American Jews such as the Rothschilds, the Warburgs, and Jacob Schiff, the Jews of the Pale created Communism and succeeded in exterminating Christianity from Russia. For this crime against humanity the Jews must surely suffer; and it was the rabbis of the Pale who encouraged and rabble-roused this genocide into its execution, the murders of the Kulaks.
If one reads the Gospels and just about any page of the New Testament, he will find unending condemnations of the Jews and their religion. Jesus refers to their religion as the “tradition of the elders, the commandments of men, the synagogue of Satan,” etc. The essence of the Christ’s complaint is contrary to what the Jews claim: They do not nor have they ever, practiced the religion of the Old Testament...”for they say and do not”. (Matt. 23:3.) This religion has been referred to as Mosaism or even Hebrewism, but the Bible does not give it a name, save to call it the Law. Jesus himself refers to the Old
Testament as the “Law and the Prophets.” Notice that He does not include the rabbis as practitioners of the Law. Rather, He specifically excludes them for their elitism: “But be ye not called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren.” (Matt. 23:8.) Would the Talmud permit Rabbi Weiss to consider me, or any non-Jew, his equal?
The fact that Jesus condemned the rabbis as being of the synagogue of Satan is also confirmation that He was not a Jew. The religion of Jesus and the religion of the Pharisees are diametrically opposed. His is the religion of truth. Theirs is the religion of lies. When the rabbis claim that Jesus was a Jew, they say this only to dupe gullible Christians into believing that Jewish heritage and Christian heritage are the same. As they say, nothing could be further from the truth. Rabbi’s do admit to their own people, that these faiths are not compatible. “Fundamentally, Judaism is anti-Christian.” (The London Jewish World-1923) We (Jews) regard our race as superior to humanity, and look forward not to its ultimate union with other races, but to its triumph over them.” (Prof.Goldwin Smith) The Talmud is, to this day, the primary source of Jewish law.” (Rabbi A. Steinsaltz)
Judaism is the intellectual heritage of the scribes and Pharisees. Every rabbi is the direct recipient of this heritage from the Pharisees. The Bible tells us “Beware the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.” (Luke 12:1) Virtually every page of the four Gospels contains some revelation how the Pharisees lie, cheat, steal, deceive, and manipulate their flock of regimented followers.
Indeed, the Book of Matthew is nothing but one prolonged diatribe against the rabbis and their religion. (If so-called Christians would actually read their Bibles, they would know these things.) Jesus identifies the scribes and Pharisees as the children of the devil whose father is the father of lies. If you are a Christian and you have read the New Testament, there is only one possible conclusion: Judaism is the religion of lies, deception, hypocrisy, and murder. Just look at the Israeli State today. See it for what it really is: Chauvinism practicing genocide in the name of God.
To understand the nature of Jewry’s on-going historical deception, one must realize, as we have said, that there is a difference between a Judahite and a Jew. A Judahite if one can be identified, is a pure-blooded descendant of the Tribe of Judah. Who they really are today will finally emerge! A Jew is one who practices the religion of Judaism. The rabbis are always doing their utmost to blur this distinction. It is, in fact, extremely rare to find a Judahite who practices the religion called Judaism.
The vast majority of Jews (99.95%?) have either no Judahite blood in them or at best 50%. The Ashkenazi branch of Jewry (the Khazars) have no Shemitic blood in them whatever (see Arthur Koestler, Alfred Lilienthal, Benjamin Freedman, among others). A given Sephardic Jew may have as much as 50% Israelite blood, but 50% does not qualify for admission into the Tribe of Judah because the Bible defines Judahites as being only those who are 100% pure-blooded Israelites of the Tribe of Judah. It is only because the rabbis have dispensed with the 100% rule that they can pretend to call themselves Israelites or Shemites.
The rabbis and the upper classes of Jews (Oberjuden) have practiced race-mixing for fun and profit for centuries.(When it suits their purposes) And, contrary to the Bible, which reckons genetic origin and descent through the father, the Jews count descent only through the mother. These are but two of the thousands of ways in which Judaism differs from or denies the Torah. As Jesus said, they have their own tradition.
The Judahite, not Jewish, historian Josephus, declares his genealogical descent as a true Judahite of the Tribe of Benjamin and also confirms that the Pharisees were a vile and cunning sect that often stooped to the murder of their religious and political enemies. This is exactly what they did to Jesus. For a modern rabbi to get up and say that his religion is the heritage of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is just another vainglorious lie, and a big one at that, a lie that spits in the face of God. This makes any talk of a Jewish return to the Holy Land even more ridiculous because it is the rabbis who made this land unholy in the first place. (Many biblical verses confirm its abandonment by God)
Contrary to Rabbi Weiss’s claim, the Jews are not the Israelites of the Old Testament. The Old Testament specifically forbids the Israelites to intermarry with non-Israelite tribes. The reason for this purging of non-Israelite blood was to ensure that Jesus Christ would be born, from only the Adamic race of Hebrew/Shemitic/Abrahamite/Israelite people. Those Adamites who possessed the genetic qualities necessary for a Spirit-filled, sinless, modest and virtuous maiden such as Mary. Bear in mind that nowhere in the Old Testament are any of these patriarchs referred to as Jews. The reason being, that the Jews did not come into existence until around 150 B.C. with the rise to power of the sect of the Pharisees. To designate, retroactively, any group prior to this time as Jewish, is either a deliberate misrepresentation or an ignorant statement!
According to virtually all historians -- Jews and goyim alike, including Josephus -- the Pharisees did not practice the pure Law as did Noah, Shem, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph and David. The Pharisees, from their origins practiced politically motivated race-mixing whenever such practice could gain them money or power. These were direct violations of the Mosaic Law. To repeat, so that there is no mistake, when John Hyrcanus, one of the last pure-blooded Judahites to reign over Judah, conquered the neighboring nation of Idumea, he also broke the Mosaic Law by submitting these alien Idumeans to circumcision and then accepting them as Israelites. He had no biblical authority to do this. This was the action of a corrupt king seeking an ally in a time of war. This eventually led to an Idumean by the name of Herod becoming the king of Judea.
It was Herod s father, Antipater, who, as High Priest, connived and conspired with the Romans to replace the pure-blooded Judahite dynasty and priesthood with Idumeans. Both Antipater and Herod were guilty of murdering pure-blooded Judahite priests and replacing them with Idumean, Edomites. The consequence of these developments was very clear: the Pharisees became primarily a non-Israelite, non-Mosaic sect whose main claim to fame was their dual pretense of 1.) being racial descendants of the Tribes of Israel, and 2.) being the teachers of the Mosaic Law.
Of course, neither claim is true. When Jesus told the Apostles not to preach to the Judeans, He instructed them to “Go ye rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”(Matt.10:6) By the time of Christ, the “house of Israel” referred to a specific, biblical definition of the Ten Lost Tribes that had already been scattered abroad: scattered from the Caucasus Mountains in the East to Ireland in the West. This is exactly where the Apostles did go when they embarked on their Mission: to the true “lost sheep of the House of Israel.” Paul even went as far as Britain to preach the Gospel wherever he could find true Israelites. It was in Britain where the very first Christian church was founded in 37 A.D., at Glastonbury by Joseph of Arimathea, Mary’s uncle.
Beginning in 721 B.C., 550 years before there was ever a Jew in the world, these Israelites of the House of Israel were deported from their homes in northern Palestine to northern Media, just south of the Caucasus. From there, to escape their captivity, they migrated north and west into Asia Minor and Europe. It is to these dispersed of Israel to whom the entire New Testament is addressed. It is not addressed to the Jews, because the Jews never practiced the un-doctored Mosaic Law, nor were the Jews ever counted among pure-blooded Israelites. (They counted themselves in, but no true Judahite would ever consider them as kin.)
The fact that the Jews were not dispersed from Judea until 70 A.D. is further proof that they are NOT the people of the dispersion to whom the New Testament is addressed. And since Judaism is the rejection of Jesus Christ’s salvation, there is no way the disciples of Jesus should waste their breath on these reprobates, nor did He expect them to do so! Indeed, the Apostle Stephen, the first Christian martyr, was stoned to death by the Jews for denouncing them. Further, these words about Jesus are revealing: “After these things, He would not walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill Him.” (John 7:1)
The Book of James begins with these words of salutation: ...”To the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greetings”. Since it is now known within the Christian Identity, Covenant People (True Israel) that many members of the tribes of Judah and Benjamin were also taken captive by the Assyrians around 721 B.C.,(II Kings 18:13) it is evident that the disciple James knew this also, as James is indeed addressing all twelve Tribes. He could not possibly have been addressing the Jews, who neither wanted to hear the Gospel, nor had they yet been dispersed from Judea. Furthermore, the Jews had relations with the Tribe of Judah only, because the Benjaminites, Nazarenes and Galileans would have nothing to do with them. This is further proof that the Jews are not Israelites. The Essenes were strict separatists who practiced the pure, unadulterated Mosaic Law, a fact proven by the Dead Sea Scrolls. They were not Jews either.
Rabbi Weiss himself knows that he is not an Israelite. When he claims that Judaism is the belief that the “Creator” revealed to the “Jewish” people at Mount Sinai, the Torah, he is very careful and correct in using the word “belief,” because the rabbis know better. They know that this is not true, although it is their first priority to insure that everybody else believes it!
The intermingling and interspersing of the words, Israel, Judah and the Jew by rabbi’s and those blinded to the truth, tends to disguise the important facts that separated these two nations, historically and today! Hey, animal, listen to this- is their attitude toward the goyim.
These historic truths must be repeated in order to counteract the mountain of lies by which the Jews deceive us daily: The Jews did not come into existence as an ethnic group until 140 B.C. with the simultaneous development of the religion of Judaism and the admixture of Edomite, Babylonian and Judahite blood. The Jewish Encyclopedia even admits this mixture of Edomite blood into their people: Edom is in Jewry. (1925 Edition, Volume 5, p. 41). Further, we cannot bypass an even earlier derogatory affiliation, that of Esau; for we find in Genesis 36:1 that “Esau is Edom.”
By the time of Christ, this priesthood and this religion, had thoroughly corrupted and distorted the Torah; and they have yet to admit this publicly, although a simple comparison of the Talmud and the Bible is more than enough evidence to prove Judaism s anti-Mosaic character. But to disguise this point, the rabbi’s use the term, “The Whole Torah” as an expression that disguises the fact that the abominable Talmud is included in this deceptive expression.
A perfect example of the Jewish method of myth-making is the picture on p.19 of the article about Rabbi Weiss. This is a very simple case of false captioning. Anyone can draw a picture and write a caption underneath to explain what the picture is about. In this case, it is a depiction of the Golden Calf scene and Israel’s refusal to obey God’s Law. The fact is that the Golden Calf incident has nothing to do with the Jewish Diaspora, although the caption implies that the Jewish Diaspora followed as a result of such events. This particular incident happened around 1450 B.C., well before any Jews ever existed.
The Israelites who were dispersed for their disobedience were the very house of Israel that became known as the Ten Lost Tribes. And even this did not happen until 700 years after the Golden Calf incident. But the simple fabrication of a picture with the word “Jews” is all that is required to mislead. Such simple, but, disingenuous and repeated myth-making, is the essence of Judaism’s representation of itself to the outside world. It is a big part of the historical charade by which today’s Judaism and Jewry claim a supposed antiquity, a genetic affinity with and to ancient Judah and Israel.
A more recent example of such myth-making is the creation of the word “Judeo-Christian,” probably begun in the 1930's. It is a classic oxymoron. As can be imagined, there was no ground of agreement between Jesus and the rabbis, so this word is just another tool in the arsenal of Jewish lies which are designed to deceive Christians into thinking that there is some commonality between Judaism and Christianity. If there was none between Jesus and the rabbis, there is none between Jews and Christians; no matter what the pseudo-Fundamentalists like Jerry Falsewell and Jack (showbiz-smile) Van Impe, Pat, or Billy or all other blinded Shepherds might say, except that the Christians have believed a lie and these “Shepherds” have dangerously misled their flocks.
Rabbi Weiss is equally deceptive as any other rabbi who spreads this Jewish misrepresentation and doublespeak. It is my belief that Rabbi Weiss and his organization, Neturei Karta, are simply cut from the same cloth of deception, as the Jews for Jesus. He and Neturei Karta pretend to be anti-Zionist just so those like Willis Carto, the publisher of the Barnes Review, might hope against hope, that there is such a thing as a good rabbi in this world. As Christians, we have been brought up with spirit-filled consciences, and many cannot imagine the extremes to which the Jewish tribe will go in order to deceive us: Neturei Karta is just such a deception. Consider this point too: How many of the Messianic Jews ever warn their fellow “Christians” how badly the Jewish Talmud treats Jesus and Christians.)
Rabbi Weiss, if I am wrong, PROVE IT. Tell us who funds your group. Tell us that your precious Talmud is not the teaching of an antichrist. Prove to me that you teach the Torah, only, and not the mixture of truth and lies of the Talmud. If you can prove this, then I might consider that there may be good rabbi.
Interestingly, Jewish mythology never mentions the fact that God issued the House of Israel a writ of divorcement with the intention of sending her into the wilderness for her purification. Through this migratory purification, the House of Israel was to become humble again; enough to receive the Law through Messiah: which they have! This mass migration also confirmed that Israel would be known by another name—Christian! (Isaiah 62:2; 65:15; Hosea 2:1)
God tells us in the Book of Genesis, speaking to Abraham concerning his son, Isaac, In Isaac shall thy seed be called. (Gen. 21:12) The Jews, of course, never quote this prophecy with reference to their claim as the chosen people because they cannot demonstrate descent through Isaac. After the Ten Lost Tribes started migrating north and west from the Caucasus, the other peoples of the area’ including the Greeks and Romans; referred to them as the House of Isaac, since Isaac was their patriarch. And as Isaac’s Sons (the Anglo-Saxons, et.al), as kindred Europeans are still known today.
The Jews reject the Messiah in spite of the fact that Jesus fulfilled over 300 OT prophecies of the Messiah s coming and mission. Jesus had Messiah written all over Him, but the Pharisees rejected Him because they preferred to hold on to their wolves-in-sheep s-clothing con game; today known as Judaism.
No matter what any rabbi says, there is no truth whatsoever to the claim that the Jews invented monotheism. They borrowed the concept from the Law of the Bible and claimed to have invented it. Mosaism existed and was practiced by True Israel for many centuries before any rabbi ever issued a Talmudic opinion about monotheism. The same is true of any rabbinical pronouncement. The Jewish religion is a “Johnny-come-lately” pretending to be the original. It is not the original. Even worse, it is the denial of the Law and the Prophets because rabbinical opinions, according to their own holy book, the Talmud, always overrules the Torah, the Law. Realize too, that this means that the opinions of the rabbis overrule the Word of God.
Few Christians really understand that the original purpose, the “need” for the Talmud, emerged in the Babylonian captivity where the life-styles of the Jews among the pagans, needed a method for circumventing the Laws of the Torah: they conflicted with the daily life of these Jews in Babylon, the Las Vegas of the day. The Pharisaic solution were the cleverly designed “oral sayings” then used to provide the “oral diversion” from the Laws of Moses in the Torah.
“Pharisaism became Talmudism, Talmudism became Medieval Rabbinism, and
Medieval Rabbinism became Modern Rabbinism...throughout these changes in name...the spirit of the ancient Pharisees survives, unaltered”--Rabbi Louis Finkelstein in “The Pharisees, the Sociological Background of Their Faith.” Do any of the world s mouthpieces of Judaism cite this fact from the rooftops or on Public Zionvision where the Chosen People myth is broadcast daily? Do you think that Jesus Christ would still condemn them for their unaltered tradition?
I know He will, because He told us in the Parable of the Wheat and the Tares that He would do exactly that; and more! And the world would finally be rid of this pestilence called Judaism. The Tares would be reaped (by the angels) and cast into the fire, just as the book of Obadiah and Matthew 13,foretell. It would be well considered for all Jews who might come across this message, to reconsider the foundations and teachings of their faith, for by this faith will they be led into perdition. Whether they’re only solution is to confess Jesus Christ as their teacher and their Messiah, remains up to God! Yahweh Himself has said in the Word that they reject, that only via Him is there salvation. But, as Tares, do they have, or will they have, any real Option left?
Most of Rabbi Weiss’s criticisms of Zionism are accurate. For example, when he says that the Sephardic rabbis in Palestine resisted the early attempts of the Zionists to invade Palestine, he is correct. But then, these were the indigenous rabbis who had the most to lose from this influx of Ashkenazi people. The Ashkenazis would eventually outnumber the Sephardim, and their little local bishoprics would collapse under such influence. They would have to learn a whole different school of religious propaganda. Something that no one wants forced upon them.
Also, the Sephardim looked upon the Ashkenazim as a lower class of Jews, because the Sephardic rabbis knew very well that the Ashkenazim are not a Semitic people; but then, knew too, that the Ashkenazim also had access to Rothschild trillions to support any kind of assault upon Palestine. Money talks.
These facts are at odds with another statement made by Rabbi Weiss. “The spread of Zionism to Eastern Europe resulted in fierce condemnations by some of the Rabbinic leadership.” This statement is disingenuous, at best. The reason for it’s being disingenuous: -- Zionism did not spread to Eastern Europe! Zionism was born in Eastern Europe. But, it was the activism of the Jews in southern Russia (formerly Khazaria) that was responsible for the rise of two of the world’s most disgusting and damaging ideas: Communism and Zionism.
Certainly there was much debate among the rabbis as to how or whether to implement these strategies; but implement them they did. And this could not have happened without the encouragement of the rabbis, although some of them had to be persuaded by Rothschild money to go beyond the ghetto (i.e., beyond the Pale), for the Talmud had always taught the ideal of eventual Jewish world supremacy! Genesis 27:40 appears to confirm that Esau/Edom will achieve a dominion over Jacob, over true Israel - For a time!- Until God’s Wrath and His hate noted in Malachi 1:1-4 arises, and the Tares of Matthew 13 are “cut, bundled and burned, before the harvest.”
It may be the Rothschild money that made possible the success of Jewish Zionism and the “raising-up” of Judaism, Yet, we must consider the hand of the Lord in these events, for this “raising up” of these antichrists is the Lord’s way, again, of inflicting pressure on His true Chosen to induce their return to His Laws. The very same use of aliens as happened earlier, when He “raised-up” the Assyrians to punish the ancient recalcitrant Israelites.
Nobody knows that Zionism appeared as a Marxist movement, a socialist one...Zionism is actually a revolution. Sergei Lezov, Strana in Mir Magazine (Munich), #3, 1988, p.94. The ideals of Bolshevism at many points are consonant with the finest ideals of Judaism. Jewish Chronicle, April 4th, 1919 (London).
Communism is Judaism forcibly imposed upon the Goyim. As proof of this, just look at how many millions of Christians were slaughtered by the Bolsheviks. Look at how many Christian churches were destroyed, priests murdered, nuns raped, women collectivized, workers gulagized and intellectuals tortured. Christian blood flowed along through the gutters of Bolshevik Russia while the Jews of Soviet Russia lived in comparative splendor. No synagogue was ever touched and no Jew was so much as interrogated unless he was suspected of being a closet Christian. Stalin even made anti-Semitism a crime punishable by death. His purges simply replaced disloyal Jews with more loyal Jews. Why have the Eastern Europeans always been so anti-Semitic? They are the ones who remember these atrocities, and the Jews who committed them.
Bolshevism was not a Jewish aberration. Bolshevism is Judaism, period. Marx, Engels, Trotsky, Schiff, Rothschild, Moses Hess, Parvus, Rosa Luxemburg, Bela Kun: these are names that are listed in the Jewish Hall of Fame a murderer’s row if there ever was one. Can anyone seriously believe that these are God’s Chosen People? The question is: Which g-d have these j-ws chosen to worship? To which g-d do they pray when they lust for revenge? Could the reality be that they worship S-t-n, not G-d? Does not Yahshua (Jesus Christ) tell us that they are the children of the devil? How do we know? By their fruits shall ye know them.
The Terrible Power of the Jewish Purse
At the same time and in the same place and by the same people, in southern Russia, the strategy of Zionism took shape. The two movements would provide the ideological pincers between which Christendom would be cut in half: the one half would be propagandized to support Zionism (Fundamentalist Christians and the capitalist West); the other half would be propagandized to support Communism (liberals and Jews); and then numerous Jewish bankers would finance both sides at the same time while the Goyim would fight it out; spilling rivers of Christian blood and lakes of tears on European soil; unknowingly sacrificing themselves for Jewish profit and believing that they were making the world “safe for democracy.” The old saying of the Middle Ages was, “War is the Jew’s harvest.” The events of the Twentieth Century are thorough proof of this maxim; if you have eyes that “see.” Every war that involved the Israelite nations had in its origins, the stamp of Esau/Edomite/Jewish fingerprints.
By this means of deception on the grandest of all scales, supported by the Zionist bankers, Talmudic Judaism would vanquish its supposed enemies. As Theodore Herzl, a Rothschild protege and the founder of the Zionist International, said, “When we sink, we become a revolutionary proletariat, the subordinate officers of the revolutionary party; when we rise, there rises also our terrible power of the purse.” from his book, “The Jewish State.”
Rabbi Weiss’s complaint that this is not the true Judaism, ring’s hollow, just as hollow as the leftist apologies implying that; real, compassionate Communism has always been sabotaged by dictators. If it weren’t so tragic, it would be funny.
The list of Zionist terrorists and murderers is just as long as the Bolshevist list: Begin, Shamir, Ben Gurion, Netanyahu, Sharon, Rothschild. Gromyko, Kruschev... In almost every case, the Communist is also a Zionist. Imagine that: Communism and Capitalism manipulated by the same coterie of international schemers! If you still don’t understand, look at the partnerships: Marx (communist) and Engels (capitalist), Trotsky (communist) and Schiff (banker). Intellectuals and blinded “Shepherds” from both the Left and the Right will never be able to accept the fact that they have been such pitiful patsies!
The question is: What is it about Judaism that gives rise to such monsters, megalomaniacs, and terrorists? This is the question I would like Rabbi Weiss to answer. Should we assume that he is prepared to face such a debate that would bring out these most shameful facts of history? No. All we hear is the hypocritical ring of I wouldn’t dignify such an accusation with an answer! They still don’t seem to realize that they will have to answer to God. Soon!
Yet, in the final analysis, we must understand that God, in His immutable way, is really “using” these aliens to good order, for His reasons! To awaken His True Israel to His Great Plan of the Ages; of which we of Israel are the major players!
So, as the Bible says, Beware the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
Wake up, Christian Israel, as the Day of Judgment approaches, your immortal soul is the price you will pay if you take the wrong path. As Jesus said: Those who are not for me are against me. The dumbest thing you will ever do is to oppose Him, your King. We pray, Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done.
Yahweh Bless you, keep you, and raise you up. To true Judah and Christian Israel alike: Repent, for the Day of Judgment is at hand. There is still hope for you if you will honor your Father by accepting His Son. Amen.
While it is true that the religion of Judaism today has strayed far from the Mosaic Law, it is also true that Judaism has many branches. Orthodox Jews seem to practice more of a rabbinical religion than the Truth handed down from G-d. But there are also Messianic Jews who follow the Truth of the L-rd and have accepted G-d's Messiah Y'shua. Then there are many Jews who are simply secular and are unfamiliar with their own backgrounds. There is a wide variety of Jewish People.
The word Jew is simply a shortened form of Judah (Praiser of G-d).
One thing I know -- G-d promised that the entire world would be blessed through the seed of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and it is: we have the Written Word and the Living Word given through the Jewish People.
We also have a promise & a warning from the L-rd - those who bless His people will be blessed, those who curse them will be cursed. (Genesis 12)
The L-rd never told the Jewish People not to mix their seed with others, but not to intermarry with those who do not believe in G-d. Just look at the geneaologies in the Bible and you will see many believers "grafted in", like Ruth.
The person who wrote the article is a little confused about history. The simplicity of the Bible is wonderful and the Holy Spirit of G-d is there to help you understand it - Just ask! G-d is not finished with the Jews and Prophecy is being fulfilled today as He draws His ancient People back to the Land! The 70th "week" of Daniel is yet to be fulfilled. These are exciting days to be alive; don't allow someone to steal your Joy in the Lord by a lot of argumentative and confusing articles. Look up! Your redemption draws near!
I was wondering around about how many native Israeli believers there are now in Israel, has this numebr increased recently, if so, why is this happening?
Looking forward to hearing from you as a matter of urgency.
Sorry to be so late - I just returned from a speaking tour

No one really knows how many Messianic believers are in Israel. Throughout Israel, there are about 85+ groups meeting in houses - a few of them have their own building.
There are more now than 5 years ago. In my own town, it was hard to find a handful of believers five years ago, but now there are more than 200. Because of different languages, we meet in three groups, yet there is a spirit of unity and we do get together for special projects. It's happening everywhere in Israel.
Plus, the young people are actively sharing their faith and bringing other young people in. Faith in Y'shua is the only answer to the hopeless empty feeling in a secular society. Some of the small soldier units are made up entirely of believers who pray before going out on a mission.
There are a lot more believers now than when Elijah complained to God and He answered that 7000 have not bowed the knee to Baal.
Basically, we are in the end days and the Holy Spirit is moving! Time is short and we feel it.
I am in search of a question to be answered. Regarding the letter to the Gentile church in Acts from the New Jewish Beleivers. Are Gentiles required to follow the feasts? And if so, why have we stopped?
The early church celebrated all of God's Holy Days because they teach about Y'shua (Jesus).
During the following years, the church grew and became predominantly Gentile. Many wanted to keep their pagan customs and did not want to appear to be Jewish, so the celebration of God's Holy Days fell by the wayside. Thus began the great apostasy and the Dark Ages.
What do we do now? Study God's Word - Read about the Holy Days - Attend a Passover Demonstration -- learn about how it teaches of Y'shua -- There are many books written by believers to show how we can honor God by celebrating His Holy Days. This is a joyful thing we should do because we love the Lord - it is not a legalistic requirement. Our chief reason for being created is to serve God and enjoy Him. Celebrating the Holy Days helps us know Him more intimately and understand just what He did.
I have taught about the Holy Days for years, and I am still learning new things about the Lord. It is a source of great blessing! Have fun!
